TAG Heuer Formula 1 Chronograph

TAG Heuer Formula 1 Chronograph Ref. CAZ101AC.FT8042

The TAG Heuer Formula 1, reference CAZ101AC.FT8042 from 2025 is the ultimate sporty evolution of the Geneva manufacture’s modern Quartz chronograph. While the sister reference on a stainless steel bracelet opts for metallic elegance, this version emphasizes an uncompromising, ergonomic racing character through its combination with a high-performance rubber strap. With its woven Carbon-look dial, scratch-resistant ceramic bezel, and lightweight, durable strap, this timepiece is directly inspired by the adrenaline and materials engineering of professional motorsport.

• Solid 43 mm stainless steel case: Crafted from finely satin-finished 316L stainless steel with the iconic tonneau profile of the Formula 1 collection. The case features protected sides and prominent side guards, protecting the movement even under extreme G-forces and impacts.

• Black high-tech ceramic tachymeter bezel: The fixed ceramic bezel with an engraved tachymeter scale filled in white enables precise calculation of average speeds. Ceramic guarantees absolute scratch resistance and color stability for decades.

• Date window at 4 o'clock: Discreetly integrated, so as not to interfere with the visualized chronometry of the sub-dials.
